Hello Boaters,
I have a 1979 175 hp Evinrude on a boat that i recently purchased... Rebuilt lower unit and replaced many fuel lines that were leaking after purchase.. First time i put the boat in the lake the engine turned over with idle.. fair acceleration in neutral when put into gear there is not even enough power to get out of the hole. Reaching operating temperature the boat will no longer idle or turn over unless choke is manually closed.. ..... I have purchased the manual and have checked all the specs for the choke and throttle linkage as well as idle adjustment all seems well along with the timing.. any help on a starting point with this problem would be greatly appreciated ( also have replaced one coil pack and fuel filter as well)
** before purchase boat had been sitting for awhile it has fresh gas and proper mixture
** fair amount of white spoke at start up will clear as engine is reaching operating temp..
THANK YOU FOR ANY FEEDBACK
